EOrslin Discovered at Pigs Eye.
A ChiIdIess Widow.
The decomposed body of a man drifted to
the rivers shore at Pigs Eye point yester-
day morning. Coroner Quinn had the body
sent to Leigh's undertaking rooms, and it
was identified by Mrs. Forslin. OF Eagle
street, as the body of her husband, Louis
Forsln.
Misfortunes never come singly. A month
ago Mrs. Forslin was the mother of three
healthy children and the wife of strong
man. To-day she is q widow and child
less. Early in April, while her husband,
Louis Forsln, was earning livelihood Tor
the family i'll a numbering camp near Du-
luth, their Youngest child was taken with
The measles and died after two
DAYS illness. Mrs. ForSlin telegraphed
her husband to come home at once, and re-
ceiyed reply that he had started. lie
never came, and nothing more was heard
from him. The wife's sorrow was swal-
lowed up in the mothers care, tor no
sooner had the dead child been laid to rest
than a second and then the third was seized
with the fatal epidemic. Alone, the poverty
stricken mother watched her three oaoes
Sicken and die, the only compassion coming

have the last hone driven from her heart

body yesterday.
How Louis FOrSlin came to his death IS
mystery. 1t can only be conjectured that
arriving from the woods, crazed with grlef,
he lost his sanity and suIcided by drowning.
